I'm from LA and wanted to try some new place in San Diego, I came to this place on Monday at 6:50pm supposedly open but was closed.

The food here is so delicious! The garlic wings are a must try! Good prices on the food as well. This place is a hidden gem. The service was so friendly and the ambiance of the place was good, we were the only ones sitting down to eat in the restaurant, everyone else took to go. Overall, it's a must try! Get the combo plates!

Fortune Cookie Express is a hidden gem in San Diego! They serve up delicious Chinese cuisine with speedy service and generous portions. The orange chicken is a must-try, and don't forget to crack open their fortune cookies for a fun surprise! The staff is friendly and the prices are affordable, making it a great spot for a quick and tasty brunch.

This is a fan favorite for me when I bring their fried chicken wings to pot lucks. Nice lil mom and pop shop. Service is straightforward.

Their Chow Mein is better than other chow Meins I have had from other Chinese fast food restaurants. Their chicken is tender and fresh. Service is quick and lady server/ cashier is polite. Tables and floor are clean.They give good portions of food too. I definitely recommend this place!

For the past 3 weeks I have been around 11-11:15 AM on a Saturday and for all 3 times In a row they are either closed or they are open but don't have any food ready. There is no reason to advertise you are open at 11 if you don't have any food ready till 12? You don't see any other place open but not have their food ready. Do the cooks not come in before everyone to make sure all the food is cooked and ready to be opened. 3 strikes and I'm out I have been coming here for 10 years. But not anywhere

This is definitely better than Panda Express. Quick, inexpensive, and tasty! They pile on the food also so you get your money's worth and more in my opinion. The lady who serves the food is polite.. nothing extra, just the right amount of customer service. We usually just get the beef and broccoli , bbq pork, noodles, and fried rice. Oh and the fried chicken wings! I haven't been disappointed. Been here a few times and I've always been happy with my decision to stop by :)

Lady told me the pork was not served as a side dish and charged me for a whole container with no rice. Then, not 10 mins later, I see her serving rice with a side of pork to a group that just walked in and heard her say I hope I have enough pork left. I should have offered them mine it was full of fat anyway

Ordered on line. Waited and checked the app. It said it was delivered. It never was. Called and was told they canceled my order. No reason. Just canceled ?

Love. Long time family business. Love love love the hot n sour soup (our fave) with chicken breast and broccoli entree

The door says they open at 11am. Employees arrived a bit after 11am, they said food would be ready at 11:30, so I left and came at 11:30 but food wasn't ready until noon. A bit deceptive. Food was good, but waiting while hungry killed the mood.

This is freshly prepared food that is ready to go. Their chicken wings are some of the best that I have ever had . Get the 3 item combo, it is enough food for 2 people and it comes with a drink.

The lady (owner) that serves the food is too slow. But other than that the place is good.
